Inghram is English, Germanic in Origin.

Inghram is a rare English given name and surname form related to Ingram, ultimately descending from the continental Germanic Angilram/Enguerrand. Its elements are Engil/Angil, “Angle” (a member of the Germanic tribe), and hramn/hraban, “raven,” giving the sense “raven of the Angles.” Brought to Britain by the Normans after 1066, the name settled in Scotland and northern England; Inghram emerged as a later spelling variant, especially in North America. The raven element, common in early Germanic names, signified keen sight, omen, and protection.

Medieval records show the name in various forms from the 12th century, with notable bearers under related spellings - such as Bishop Angilram of Metz and the French noble Enguerrand de Coucy. As a given name, Inghram is uncommon today and functions more as a transferred surname. Variants and cognates include Ingram (standard), Engram, Ingeram (medieval), Enguerrand (French), and Angilram (Latinized).
